Last month, the Joint Economic Committee published a report outlining higher costs for Washington families in 2025 because of the Trump administration. Not just in Washington, but all across the country, because of the inflation that has occurred since Trump took office, the average household has paid $1,625 in higher costs.

The average family in Washington spent a whopping $2,008 more in 2025 than they did in 2024 because of the Trump administration's failing economic policies.

Last week, I introduced the Mammography Access for Veterans Act. This bipartisan legislation would expand veterans' access to lifesaving breast cancer screenings through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Women are the fastest-growing group in the veteran population. As the number of women veterans rapidly increases, VA must continue to modernize its women's health care services. This bill is one step toward ensuring women veterans around the country have access to lifesaving, preventative screenings for breast cancer.

The Trump Administration's brutal occupation of American communities with armed, masked agents must end immediately.

Congress has a responsibility to defend the American people from this lawlessness. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle must unite in this effort and assert our constitutionally mandated congressional oversight authority to hold the Administration accountable. We must stop this violence before more lives are lost.
